Loose Women and Strictly legend rushed to hospital after suffering ‘traumatic’ health scare during live show

LOOSE Women and Strictly legend Kaye Adams was rushed to A&E after suffering a 'traumatic' health scare.

Kaye took to social media to reveal she was "terrified" that she had a tumour after she completely lost her hearing in her right ear "minutes" before she went on air on Friday.

"I was absolutely terrified, I thought, 'Oh my god, what has gone wrong?'" revealed Kaye, 61, as she opened up about her "most traumatic 48 hours" on social media this afternoon.

Kaye revealed: "On Friday when I was doing Loose Women, minutes before we went in air, my right ear just went dead. I put my ear piece in, there was no sound I couldn't hear a thing."

Kaye added that she managed to get through the show, but when she got home to Glasgow, she still couldn't hear anything.

Panicking, she researched online and read that she should go to A&E, where she went the following morning.

After praising the nurses, Kaye revealed she was sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre.

But she was left red faced when she found out when the audiologist Paula discovered what was causing the hearing loss.

"I mean I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic.

"Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen."

Kaye then laughs with relief after her big reveal.

She captioned the Instagram post: "I've had the most traumatic 48 hours. Here's where happened...

"And a big thank you to @bootsuk and @nhsggc - Anita and Paula you were truly incredible with this melodramatic 61 year old woman!"

Fans rushed to the comments section to share their relief that she is doing ok.

One wrote: "Phew thank goodness it turned out to be caused by something so simple."

"So glad you got sorted , it’s a horrible scary feeling!," a second said.

A third chimed in: "Only you Kaye lol . Glad you're okay now x."

Kaye has been on Loose Women since 1999.
